Best boots ever

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Fit: True to size

Size Bought: 9.5

Have owned 3 pair of Danner Lights(and Danner Light II) over the past 30 years as well as several other brands. Danner Lights are the best no frills, comfortable, durable and dependable boots. Although a more traditional boot they are great all around outdoors boots. Unlike other Gore-tex boots with multiple layers, these boots actually breathe especially during warm summer days. These are everyday boots well worth the price. Give them a little time for break-in and you won't want them to leave your feet. I will own and wear a pair as long as I'm able to walk!

Comfortable Out of the Box

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Fit: True to size

Size Bought: 11.5

These fit great and needed minimal break in time. As to width, they are perfect for me. For reference I wear La Sportiva for my trail runners, approach shoes, climbing shoes and mountaineering boots. These Danners fit my foot perfectly. Waterproofing is working well and they seem durable.

Versatile and supportive.

Fit: True to size

Size Bought: 8

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 110lbs

So, yeah - I know there's Danner boots for women, but I'm an East Coast-er at heart and really love me some Gore-Tex when given the opportunity to wear it. I picked up a pair of these in a men's 8, and they fit really nicely on my skinny feet. However, there's definitely some room in the heel cup as I have a narrow heel, but otherwise the fit is stupendous. I exchanged the Danner insole with superfeet, and the boots are so comfy! Albeit, heavy, but you know that's to be expected. Really loving the overall durability, not to mention the style is pretty on point too. I typically wear an 8.5 in women's shoes. The width on these are definitely narrow in comparison to other men's boots I've tried on, so people with wide feet beware!

Check the width

Familiarity: I returned this product before using it

Fit: True to size

These boots looked great, but I had to return them because they were too narrow. When I ordered them there wasn't an indication of the shoe width size or an option to choose. The pair shipped to me were a size D. The shoe length was pretty spot on with what I normally wear.

It's Danner Time

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Fit: True to size

The Light II's are excellent boots, especially throughout the autumn months. I've noticed that if it's anything above 65'ish degrees fahrenheit outside, be prepared for a full on sweat fest. I've done quite a few hikes with temps down in the low 30's, but they lack an insulation layer, hence the reason they are the Lights, so your feet will get cold; rather quickly I might add. For anything wintery/snow related, I'd opt for a pair with at least 400g Thinsulate or more. They've got quite a few options to explore, so you'll be in good hands.

Oh yeah, the cushy Vibr's defintely do a great job at keeping your feet ache free.

Counter point on the "your feet will get cold" - I think it depends on the individual. As mentioned these are not insulated boots, but I have these boots and I have snowshoed above 10000' in Colorado for several hours at a time in temperatures between 5 - 20 degrees with a medium weight Merino wool sock over a silk sock and never got cold feet. Also, I treat the leather on my boots regularly with sno-seal (it will darken the leather a little) to ensure that they stay waterproof and don't absorb any water into the leather.

LOVE my Danner's!

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Fit: Runs large

I have owned the women's version of this boot for over 5 years. They break in easily and form to your feet over time making a very comfortable fit! The leather is of the highest grade available and still in great condition (and softer from wear) even after miles of hiking, climbing and walking through creeks. The vibram outsole has saved me many times from sharp rocks and rough terrain....excellent traction. I highly recommend!
